find an in for school photos if you guys can. Man, are they boring but in a really small school (22ish per class) I'm probably going to make around 2.5k for 4 hours of shooting and about 5 hours of post, sorting, etc.

::EDIT::

$4,078 is the total from today. Then take away prints which is about 10-15% and we're looking at 3.2-3.5k for taking photos from 8a.m. - 1p.m. Too bad I have bills . None of it is going on new photo toys.

I have a few friends that would be down, if you wanna come down to fl.

The thing is the subjects have to be comfortable with you, and the easiest way for them to get to trust you is to do a few non nude shoots before. That way theyre comfortable with you and your talents as a whole.

Has any of you dealt with nudity of subjects in a fine art setting? I was hoping to work around the ideas of Ryan McGinley and Justine Kirkland's nude photographs.

How did you approach your future subject with the idea and how did you convince them that you had their interest in heart when you would be photographing?

How did you determine who would be willing in the first place?

How did the actual shoot work out? Were there any difficulties that you didnt foresee?

i feel like the easiest way would be to find someone who has done nude shoots before or atleast done nude modeling for and art class or something like that, and also do a few non nude shoots before hand to build a relationship with the subject and work up to nude shoots. But i am just guessing here, i have very little experience working with models
